Jeff Johnston Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I enjoyed this one. Tamiya British Green. This was a fun little build and one you don't see built often. and in a diggerent background color
RodneyBad Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Nice clean build. Love the Interior. 1/24th scale, eh? Nice detailing inside Great Job Love it..
uniongoon Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Wow, with some background scene, this could challenge the real or model thread. Nice work!!

Nick F40 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Wow, I love these cars, before they went to the rubber catfish they always had a neat look to them, I guess I like old British cars, since we own one! Great detail, this turned out great,
Peter Lombardo Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Jeff, very nice build...love the British Racing Green and the wire wheels look great too. I like the "lack of a radio" cover over the dashboard slot, looks great. My MGA has that in lieu of a radio. I am in the middle of rebuilding my 1977 MGB 1:1, into a pre rubber car. It will be running again this summer, I can't wait. I also have this kit and will complete it once the real car is done. Anyway, I have one tiny little comment on yours. I think the ride height is just a little too high for a chrome bumper car. The rubber bumper cars were raised 1 1/2 inches higher to meet the federal bumper regulations in 1974. Prior to that, the cars sat down lower to the road which helped them establish the MG mystic of "great handling". The 1974 1/2 cars were just terrible handling cars as the center of gavity was too high. It took MG until 1976 to get the new configuration sorted out to the point where the handling was acceptible. Other than that one item, it is beautiful.....all MG's are beautiful to me.
sjordan Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Great job. Can you see through the wire wheels or did you add a black wash?
Jeff Johnston Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Can you see through the wire wheels or did you add a black wash? It's the kit wheels w/ no black wash. They are very nice wheels. Peter. I actually agree on the ride height. I debated on weather or not to put the Urethane bumpers on it or not. I mocked it up a half dozen times and always came back to the chrome bumpers, even though it sits higher than it should.
